Note:The real-life Seattle has no military bases, though some neighboring cities do. Fort Lewis in particular is roughly 40 miles away, in a different county. The rest of the description is still absolutely true, though.

Note:In the real world, "40 miles west of the Seattle-Tacoma area" would be the Olympic National Park, which is consistent with the evergreen forest Megatron began cyberforming with the Key. Notably, if that geography holds true, then the city seen in the battle can be neither Seattle nor Tacoma, as they are separated from the Olympic Peninsula by Puget Sound.
